1) Scout out the swimming location choices in your area before making your fitness plans. It's important to be comfortable with the swimming location. The place must be reasonably easy for you to get to regularly, the price needs to be affordable and the location itself should be one that feels comfortable to you personally.
2) Purchase appropriate equipment. You shouldn't need to spend too much on swimming gear. You will need a good swimsuit––for women, this should be one piece. For men, choose swimming pants that cling, not board shorts or any other type of shorts. If you try to kick wearing flappy swimming gear, you'll find it tends to affect your kick and can lead to bad kicking habits that only make use of the lower part of the leg.
3) Plan to swim regularly. Fitness benefits will only come from regular swimming. While the most benefits will probably result from swimming two to three times a week, even once weekly swims should help to improve your fitness levels. Choose a consistent schedule that you know you'll be able to meet each week and mark it in your calendar.
4) Plan fitness workout routines. Initially, you'll want to get into a rhythm of turning up regularly and getting moving. However, within a short space of time, it's important to establish a routine. Rather than simply lapping up and down the pool without a focus, develop a workout plan that gives you something to work towards and beyond, focusing on the fitness and speed you're trying to achieve.
*He expensive part of swimming can be the pool entry fees.
*If you swim regularly, ask about discounts for passes that cover a set period of time. This should save you a good deal of money.
*Knowing how to breathe properly for each stroke is important for maintaining your energy levels and for guaranteeing the effectiveness of the stroke. If you've developed some bad habits over the years, correct them by learning about proper breathing techniques.
